Adjusting Camera Position
The third set of screws (labeled above as
ROTATE
) allow the HyperStar and camera to be
rotated into a different orientation for the purpose of framing objects. Loosen the three
screws slightly. The nylon bushings will allow the lens to rotate with the screws still
somewhat snug. Once the camera and lens are in the desired orientation, tighten down
the screws.
Using Filters
The top portion of the HyperStar lens is a removable adapter, specific to your camera.
The inside of this adapter is threaded for 2” filters. Unthread the adapter from the
HyperStar lens. A 2” filter can then be threaded into the inside of the adapter. Replace
the adapter on the HyperStar lens and you are set to go. Popular filters include the IDAS
LPS-D1 and Optolong L-Pro filters, both of which work well to block light pollution.
